After each name, first is the number of slash marks found next to the name on the hand-written transcript I believe was done by Edith Newland.
Slash marks represented the number of graves in that location. The
second number is a sort of plot number indicating the location of the
graves under that name. If you stand at the entrance to the cemetery, locations begin at your far left, closest to the road with number 1 and go straight back (EAST) to number 15. The next column begins with 16 again closest to the road but slightly CLOSER to the entrance, next to number 1 and goes back to number 30. Using a grid, she has 75 plots to the left of the "driveway" and 112 plots (16 back, 7 across) to the right of the driveway. Not all plots have names and please understand I have done my best to accurately transcribe what she wrote but can not guarantee its accuracy. I HAVE personally been to this cemetery and can vouch for some of the information and for the general accuracy of the layout and locations. Lindsey Beckwith |
